Gentle Stranger

Gentle stranger, you came into my life

When I was feelin' sad

And I looked up that day

To see your face shinin' in the sun

Your eyes were kind and you spoke softly to me

You were just passing through

Tomorrow you would be gone

But we shared conversation and wine and talked of many things

And on that night I slept softly in your arms

And you'd kept me warm

You kept me from harm, you gave me love

Yes, I knew you'd be leavin' in the mornin'

By the dawn you'd be goin' on your way

But we can never know about tomorrow

And I know you made me beautiful, beautiful today

Gentle stranger, I'm now returned again

To lonely days and nights

But now I cannot feel the pain so much

For a memory of you

Comes and wraps itself around me in the dark

And in my dream I sleep softly in your arms

And I am warm, I am safe from harm, I am loved

I am loved, I am loved

I am loved, I am loved

I am loved, I am loved
